“Tidal Wave”

I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind ’cause I believe
You’d unfold your paper heart
And wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
‘Cause all I see is a shattered conscience
Staring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
‘Cause I’m so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel
Or just the train?

Lift your arms, only Heaven knows
Where the danger grows and it’s safe to say
There’s a bright light up ahead
And help is on the way, help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
‘Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Depression, please cut to the chase
And cut a long story short
Oh, please be done, how much longer
Can this drama afford to run?

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn’t bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes
Just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
‘Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
‘Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you’re wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in

The end is uncertain
And I’ve never been so afraid
But I don’t need a telescope
To see that there’s hope
And that makes me feel brave

“Vanila Twilight”

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

“The Tip of Iceberg”

Welcome back winter once again
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
‘Cause you’ll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall gently to the ground
The temperature drops and your shivers
Freeze all the rivers around
But I keep you warm

If speed’s a pro, inertia must be a con
‘Cause the cold wind blows
At precise rates
When I’ve got my ice skates on

If all the roads were paved with ice
That wouldn’t thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
Then on to Alaska and back
‘Cause you keep me warm

Peer over the edge, can you see me?
Rivulets flow from your eyes
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall
And your lungs crystallize

I’ll travel the sub-zero tundra
I’ll break glaciers and frozen lakes
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg
I’ll do whatever it takes to change

Farewell powdery paradise
We’d rather skate on the thinnest ice
Fingers failed us before they froze
Frostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait in this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm

“The bird and The worm”

If you’re the bird whenever we pretend it’s summer
Then I’m the worm, I know the part, it’s such a bummer
But fair is fair, if my segments get separated
I’ll scream and you’ll be there

Close your eyes, close my eyes
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine, feel the shine
I’m hooked so toss me over and cast a line, oh I’ll try
Oh, throw a party and greet my undersea friends
It depends, as they arrive, if they arrive

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs enemies

If I’m your boy, let’s take a short cut we remember
And we’ll enjoy, picking apples in late September
Like we’ve done for years
Then we’ll take a long walk through the corn field
And I’ll kiss you between the ears

If you’re my girl, swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us, as love sweeps over the room
‘Cause we tend to make each other blush, you make me blush

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well, who needs anemones?

You’re the bird and I’m the worm and it’s plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be

If you’re the bird
If you’re the bird
Then I’m the worm
We were meant to be

“The Saltwater Room”

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay on the shore
Staring up at the stars that aren’t there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

So like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue, farewell with your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together isn’t ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Only time, only time

Can you believe that the crew has gone?
And they wouldn’t let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep
And I can hardly relax or even oversleep

When I feel warm with your hand in mine
When we walk along the shoreline
I guess we’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
Yeah, all the time, all the time

Time together isn’t ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Only time, only time

When we’re apart what ever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time

Time together isn’t ever quite enough
When we’re apart what ever are you thinking of?
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, oh, all the time

—————————————————————————–“Cave in”

Please take a long hard look through your textbook
‘Cause I’m history
When I strap my helmet on I’ll be long gone
‘Cause I’ve been dying to leave

Yeah, I’ll ride the range and hide
All my loose change in my bedroom
‘Cause riding a dirt bike down
A turnpike always takes its toll on me

I’ve had just about enough of quote
“Diamonds in the rough”
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I’ll cave in

If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining
Because we’ve heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
Though I’m always undermining too deep to know

Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
‘Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline

I’ll soak up the sound, try to sleep on the wet ground
I’ll get ten minutes give or take
‘Cause I just don’t foresee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern or I’ll cave in
Get me out of this cavern or I’ll cave in

I’ll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
‘Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It’ll make a mess like you wouldn’t believe

Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I’ll wrench them away
Then I’ll take my leave and I won’t even look back
I won’t even look back

—————————————————————————“Hello Seattle”

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth

Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I’ll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed from everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I’m beaming from ear to ear
I’d rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I’d flash you a smile of clean pearly whites

I’ve been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills

“Have a seat”, he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand and practically laughs at me
“Open up nice and wide”, he says peering in
And with a smirk he says, “Don’t have a fit
This’ll just pinch a bit”, as he tries not to grin

When hygienists leave on long vacations
That’s when dentists scream
And lose their patience

Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my result goes south
I’ll swallow my pride with an Aspirin
And shut my mouth

Golf and alcohol don’t mix
And that’s why I don’t drink and drive
Because good grief, I’d knock out my teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye

I’ve been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills

“If my heart was a house”

You’re the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view
Whenever I’m holding you

The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world
As it warms over everything

Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine

Unmistakably
I can still feel your heart beat fast
When you dance with me

We got older and I should’ve known
(Do you feel alive?)
That I feel colder when I walk alone
(Oh, but you’ll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away, bombs away)

Circle me and the needle
Moves gracefully back and forth
If my heart was a compass, you’d be north

Risk it all
‘Cause I’ll catch you if you fall wherever you go
If my heart was a house, you’d be home
It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed
If the sun rose up from the west

I walk slowly when I’m on my own
(Do you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone
(Oh, but you’ll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
(Bombs away, bombs away)

Circle me and the needle moves
Gracefully back and forth
If my heart was a compass, you’d be north

Risk it all
‘Cause I’ll catch you if you fall wherever you go
If my heart was a house, you’d be home

If my heart was a house, you’d be home

“Umbrella Beach”

Sands and gears, oh, how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There’s an underwater Ferris wheel
Where I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here on sea, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I’m waving goodbye
So I’ll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it’s so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here on sea, out of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I’m waving goodbye
So I’ll spread out my wings and fly
I’ll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it’s so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

—————————————————————————–

” On the Wing “
Breathe and I’ll carry you away into the velvet sky
And we’ll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
‘Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
We’re hanging on so take us high to sing the world goodbye

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I’m dreaming you’re out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we’re both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?

I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet
I’m dreaming you’re out in the blue and I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we’re both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere
